What to Do in Northumberland

With castles, Roman ruins and an array of coastal wildlife, you won’t be stuck for things to do in Northumberland. Here are the top five things to do when you’re camping in Northumberland:

1) Visit a castle

If you are interested in medieval history, Bamburgh and Prudhoe Castle are excellent examples of the architectural influences and designs of the time, however, if you’re looking for a more modern piece of iconic pop culture, the medieval castle of Alnwick is now more popularly known as the filming location for Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry in the Harry Potter series.

2) See the Roman ruins

Find out about the Roman influence in Northumberland at the Chesters Roman Fort and Museum near Hadrian’s Wall, or travel a little further afield to visit the Vindolanda settlement where archaeological discoveries continue to be made and the nearby Roman Army Museum.

3) Admire the local wildlife

Visit the Holy Island of Lindisfarne by causeway at high tide, or catch a boat to admire puffins and other nesting seabirds on the nearby Farne Islands. Visit Lindisfarne Priory, or the castle and find out more about the rich heritage of the island.

4) Enjoy the natural beauty

Between the castle of Bamburgh – with its stunning seascape backdrop – and the Holy Island of Lindisfarne – with its abundant wildlife and rich history – lies the mile-wide beach of Budle Bay. Walk along the fine sand of this beach and take in the natural beauty of the expansive coastline, or take a meditative wander through the Northumberland National Park.

5) Explore the picturesque villages

The quaint town of Corbridge not only has rows of picturesque terraced houses lining its street, but it also houses a wealth of Roman heritage. Another village to visit is Seahouses, which you will have the opportunity to explore on route to the Farne Islands – or visit another coastal village, Amble, which hosts the UK’s only puffin festival.
